A  LITERARY  EXHIBIT. 


The  literature  of  California  is  as  yet  an  unknown  quantity ;  no 
one  can  predict  from  what  it  has  been  to  what  it  will  be.  But 
there  are  singular  characteristics  in  this  literature  which  reveal  an 
intense  local  coloring — a  rich  savor — peculiar  to  itself.  Its  very 
lawlessness,  when  toned  and  restrained,  will  tend  to  originality  and 
strength. 

The  wonder  story  is  a  natural  product  to  4;he  soil.  From  Fer- 
dinand Ewer's  "  Eventful  Nights  of  August  21st  and  22nd,"  in  1856, 
and  W.  H.  Rhodes'  "Remarkable  Case  of  Summerfield,"  in  1868, 
down  to  the  present  day  of  Milne's  "  Eighteen  Centuries  in  Ice," 
Morrow's  "Remarkable  Case  of  Surgery"  and  Bierce's  "Man  and 
Snake,"  we  have  had  a  full    flowering  of  the  literary  orchid. 

Pollock's  poem,  "  Evening  Tlirough  the  Golden  Gate,"  in  1856, 
has  not  been  supplanted  in  the  hearts  of  the  people,  nor  has  his 
"  Parting  Hour"  been  forgotten;  John  Ridge's  poem  to  his  wife, 
"The  Harp  of  Broken  Strings,"  has  not  lost  its  exquisite  sympathy 
with  the  beating  of  the  human  heart  to-day. 

The  vivid  tales  of  Emma  Frances  Dawson,  Yda  Addis,  Flora 
Haines  Longhead  and  others  of  the  Argonaut  school,  have  made  a 
strong  impression  upon   our   literature.     The   humorists,   such  as 


George  Derby  and  J.  Ross  Browne,  were  the  advance  guard  of  a  host 
to  follow,  better  known  perhaps,  but  not  so  fondly  remembered. 
The  sagebrush  school  of  writers,  such  as  John  Swift  in  "Robert 
Greathouse,"  and  Dan  de  Quille  in  the  "  Big  Bonanza,"  have  laid 
the  colors  on  the  historical  page  with  realistic  brush.  Our  school 
of  journalists  has  produced  men  of  finished  literary  style,  such  as 
Ambrose  Bierce,  Arthur  McEwen,  John  Hamilton  Gilmour  and 
others,  and  of  great  versatility,  as  Henry  Bigelow,  Frank  Millard 
and  George  H.  Fitch,  and  vigor  and  originality,  as  Frank  Pixley 
and  W.  H.  Mills.  Our  vivid  short  stories  at  Christmastide  are 
evidence  of  the  talent  which  rarely  finds  utterance  the  rest  of  the 
year. 

As  for  the  "  Incomparable  Three,"  Bret  Harte,  Mark  Twain  and 
Joaquin  Miller,  they  stand  side  by  side  with  the  successful  literary 
men  of  the  world,  either  at  home  or  abroad.  The  "Secondary 
Three,"  Charles  Warren  Stoddard,  Edward  Sill  and  Ina  D.  Cool- 
brith  are  acknowledged  as  peers  in  the  realm  of  verse,  and  many  of 
their  lines  will  outlive  those  more  famous  than  they,  at  the  present 
time.  — 

And  yet  from  all  this  rich  hoard,  we  cannot  assume  to  predict 
what  Californian  literature  may  yet  become,  although  it  is 
evident  that  all  these  writers  who  have  gone  before,  have  become  a 
force  in  shaping  the  ultimate  destiny  and  quality  of  this  literature 
which  is  to  be. 


CATALOGUE    OF    CAtlFORNIAN    WRITERS. 


For  this  reason,  if  no  other,  we  must  recognize  that  the  present 
literature  of  California  is  worthy  of  being  collected  as  a  whole  in 
volume  or  newspaper  file,  or  scrap-book,  for  the  purpose  of  preserv- 
ation. In  a  few  years  this  valuable  material  will  be  lost  to  history, 
and  its  collection  become  impossible  because  of  the  scattered 
editions,  hither  and  yon,  which  have  received  no  encourage- 
ment. In  fact,  in  many  instances,  they  have  been  utterly  ignored, 
because  no  one  has  the  time  or  inclination  to  devote  to  the  purpose, 
save  in  a  desultory  way.  To  the  honor  of  the  Bohemian  Club,  be  it 
said,  that  it  has  endeavored  to  secure  a  special  library  of  our  writers, 
and  also  Captain  Lees,  but  they  are  still  far  from  complete. 

No  longer,  however,  shall  these  books  lie  dusty  and  ignored  in 
old  attics  or  second-hand  book  stores.  Under  the  encouragement 
of  the  World's  Fair  Commission,  a  number  of  ladies  in  this  city 
have  organized  themselves  into  a  society  called,  "  The  San  Fran- 
ciscan Women's  Literary  Exhibit  of  Californian  Writers 
FOR  the  Columbian  Exposition." 

They  have  been  engaged  in  preparing  a  complete  catalogue  of 
all  books  written  by  our  writers,  which  of  itself  is  a  work  of  no 
small  value,  something  which  has  not  been  thought  of  heretofore, 
and  which  they  now  present  to  the  public  for  perusal  and  reference. 
They  are  also  collecting  volumes,  and  spying  out  for  newspaper  files 
of  extinct  as  well  as  existing  journals,  to  present,  when  complete,  to 
the  Commissioners  as  an  exhibit  for  the  World's  Fair. 

They  propose  to  obtain  as  many  volumes  as  possible  by  donation, 
and  to  earn  themselves  the  money  for  the  volumes  they 
have  to  buy,  asking  the  Commission  for  nothing  save  its  good  will 
and  freightage  of  the  library  to  Ciiicagoand  return.     It  will  then  be 


presented  to  the  Golden  Gate  Park  Museum,  as  a  monument  of 
their  labors,  and  a  mark  of  appreciation  of  the  writers  of  the  past 
and  present  day. 

Any  lady  who  would  like  to  become  an  associate  member  of  the 
"  Literary  Exhibit"  may  do  so  by  the  payment  of  one  dollar  or 
the  donation  of  one  or  more  books.  The  name  of  the  donor  should 
be  written  on  the  fly-leaf,  or  if  there  is  more  than  one  book,  the 
name  of  a  friend  may  be  used,  thus  paying  her  the  compliment  of 
making  her  a  member  also.  As  these  names  are  all  to  appear  on  a 
roll  of  honor  at  the  end  of  the  year,  in  the  form  of  a  printed  report, 
to  be  included  for  all  time  with  the' books  in  the  library,  it  is  no 
empty  compliment  to  belong  to  the  "Literary  Exhibit." 

As  it  is  desired  that  an  "  Exhibit "  be  made  in  the  Mechanics' 
Fair  this  year,  it  is  hoped  that  all  who  can,  will  take  an  interest  in 
tills  matter,  and  respond  good-naturedly  to  our  desire  for  their 
volumes.  They  should  be  addressed  to  Mrs.  Warren  Ewer,  Libra- 
rian of  Literary  Exhibit  for  Columbian  Exposition,  1513  Clay 
street,  San  Francisco,  Cal. 

The  books  specially  called  for  are  :  Robert  Greathouse,  by  John 
F.  Swift ;  Yusef,by  J.  Ross  Browne ;  Big  Bonanza,  by  Dan  de  Quille; 
poems  by  Pollock,  Ridge,  Sill,  Stoddard,  Joaquin  Miller  and  others ; 
works  of  Bret  Harte  and  Mark  Twain,  and  others  as  shown  in 
catalogue. 

They  have  chosen  for  their  particular  letterhead  and  coat-of-arms, 
as  it  were,  the  graceful  figure  of  the  Indian  girl,  gazing  toward  the 
Golden  Gate  at  the  mysterious  white  sail  of  the  incoming  Tale  Face, 
as  designed  to  represent  "  California,"  by  tliat  brilliant  genius,  Jules 
Tavernier.

CALIFORNIA. 


She  sits  by  the  side  of  her  own  beloved  sea, 

A  dark-eyed  and  tropical  child, 
Witli  a  heart  that  is  fresh  and  a  soul  that  is  free, 

And  a  nature  untranameled  and  wild. 

She  seems  in  a  dream,  or  beneath  a  strange  spell, 

All  with  sweetness  and  beauty  replete. 
From  her  flowing  dark  hair,  witli  its  abalone  shell. 

To  iier  beaded  and  moccasined  feet. 

She  sits  in  a  mood,  retrospective  and  calm, 

With  her  grizzly  awaiting  caress; 
As  she  thinks  of  the  time  when  lier  cactus  and  palm 

Were  but  tilings  of  a  past  wilderness. 

Now  glancing  abroad  through  her  beautiful  Bay 
She  sees  through  her  "Gate"  a  strange  sight  ; 

'Tis  a  sea  bird,  swift-sailing  upon  its  fair  way, 
And  its  pinions  are  shining  and  white. 

Now  with  her  light  hand  she  thus  shades  from  her  eyes 

The  tropical  kiss  of  the  sun, 
And  her  grizzly  forgets  in  her  strange,  sweet  surprise, 

While  the  grizzly  to  growl  hath  begun. 


Oh  !  many  the  days  since  the  white  man  hath  toiled 

With  his  spirit  of  progress  and  change, 
And  she  mourns  o'er  her  sands  of  their  gold-dust  despoiled. 

And  her  grizzly  grown  silent  and  strange. 

And  she  sits  by  the  side  of  her  own  beloved  sea, 

A  dark-eyed  and  tropical  child ; 
With  adieart  that  is  fresh  and  a  soul  that  is  free, 

And  a  nature  untrammeled  and  wild.

SHADOW   ON   THE   PRINCESS'   FACE. 


Shall  I  tell  you  a  story  ?  Well,  let  it  be  something  relative  to 
the  World's  Fair,  and  why  we  should  make  an  exhibit  of  California 
there — her  products,  her  industries,  and  the  progress  she  has  made 
in  culture — in  art,  music,  literature  and  education. 

To  do  so.  I  must  tell  you  the  story  of  a  certain  Princess  of  the 
^  Western  Sea,  and  her  name,  and  the  names  of  her  lovers,  I  will 
leave  you  to  guess,  telling  only  that  her  father  was  called  "  King 
Pacific,"  and  her  mother  "  Queen  Sierra." 

There  is  nothing  more  fascinating  than  a  Princess,  From  the 
top  of  her  pearl-broidered  cap  to  tlie  heels  of  her  golden  slippers 
she  is  an  object  of  divine  interest.  She  is  supposed  to  be  a  little 
above  ordinary  mortals,  and  therefore  not  endowed  with  the  same 
feelings  and  emotions. 

But  there  once  was  a  Princess  more  beautiful  than  all  the  royal 
maidens  of  the  fairy  books.  She  was  free  of  limb  and  full  of 
strength  like  a  sculptor's  model.  Her  eyes  had  a  darkling  look,  as 
if  one  gazed  into  a  deep,  deep  well.  Her  mother  being  Queen  of 
the  Mountains,  and  her  father  King  of  all  Waters,  she  had  a  right 
to  be  full  of  pride  and  dignity;  but  the  strange  thing  about  the 
Princess  was,  that  upon  her  face,  so  fair  and  beautiful,  was  a  shadow 
— a  shadow  faint  and  in  distinct  at  first,  but  gradually  growing 
darker  and  darker. 

All  the  Court  noticed  the  strange  shadow,  and  at  last  the  King 
and  Queen,  But  when  her  mother  asked  her  the  cause,  the  Princess 
stood  and  said,  "  I  do  not  know,  only  that  I  am  so  unhappy." 


In  terror  at  these  words,  the  King  called  his  councilors  to 
know  what  to  do  to  banish  the  shadow  from  the  Princess'  face. 
And  so  they  all  gathered  and  talked  wise  to  each  other.  "  It  is  for 
lack  of  splendor  and  luxury,"  said  they  all,  ."  She  is  longing  for  jewels 
and  such  things  as  delight  a  maiden's  heart.  Give  her  these  and  the 
shadow  will  vanish." 

And  so  the  King  sent  for  the  Gnomes  of  the  Under  World,  and 
bade  them  bring  up  their  choicest  jewels  and  the  Cobweb  Fairies  to 
spin  their  dain£i«st  gossamers  of  lace  and  silk,  and  with  gold  and 
silver  all  were  lavished  upon  the  beautiful  Princess.  But  the 
shadow  only  grew  deeper. 

Again  the  King  called  for  his  wise  men,  and  again  put  the  ques- 
tion to  them, 

"  It  is  music  that  is  lacking,"  said  they  all.  "  She  is  longing  for 
silver  lutes  and  beautiful  harmonies.  Give  her  these  and  the 
shadow  will  be  lifted." 

And  so  the  King  of  all  Waters  sent  for  the  Wind  Fairies  and  the 
Spirits  of  Deep  Ocean,  and  bade  them  play  upon  their  iEolian 
harps  and  shells  and  lift  their  voices  in  song.  And  music  sweet  was 
wafted  through  the  palace,  and  then  music,  mighty  in  its  glorious 
harmony,  speaking  of  Is^ature's  passions,  arose  and  thrilled  the 
land.    But  the  shadow  remained  on  the  Princess'  face 

Again  the  King  called  his  Council,  and  demanded  what  was  to 
be  done.  The  Prime  Minister  looked  at  the  Secretary,  and  the 
Secretary  at  the  Treasurer,  and  the  Treasurer  at  the  Sage  of  the 
Council.  And  the  Sage  said:  "It  must  be  that  the  Princess  is 
longing  to  meet  her  Prince.     It  is  the  time  for  her  Suyamvara," 

Now  the  Suyamvara  was  an  Oriental   custom,  which  in   modem 


22 


CATAI.OGUE  OF   CAI^IFORNIA.N   WRITERS. 


English  means  "coming  out."  It  was  the  time  for  the  Princess  to 
issue  cards  and  say  that  she  was  "out"  in  society,  and  that  all  mar- 
riageable young  gentlemen,  heirs  to  kingdoms,  were  to  appear  on 
the  scene,  and  the  Princess  would  choose  one  to  reign  with  her. 

And  so  the  King  said:  '"Why  didn't  you  say  so  before  ?"  And 
so  he  announced  her  Suyamvara. 

Now,  there  was  a  great  hubbub  in  all  the  kingdoms  round,  and 
every  Prince  arrayed  himself  in  silver  and  gold,  and  dazzlingly  ap- 
peared before  her.  There  was  tlie  Copper-colored  Prince,*  and  the 
Swarthy  Prince,t  and  the  Almond-eyed  Prince,  i  but  she  turned  her 
head  away.  Then  last  of  all  came  the  White  Prince.?  She  arose 
and  gave  him  her  hand,  and  the  trumpets  pealed  in  triumph. 

But  the  shadow  still  lay  upon  the  Princess'  face. 
.  The  King  and  all  the  Cabinet  were  puzzled.     They  called  the 
White  Prince  into  their  council   and  told  him  the  tale,  and  asked 
him  to  find  out  the  cause  of  the  shadow,  for  they  could  not. 

And  he  was  a  wise  Prince  as  well  as  a  handsome  one,  and  he  said: 

"  What  wonder  that  the  shadow  lies  upon  the  Princess'  face  ? 
Her  arms  are  decked  with  jewels,  her  dress  is  cloth  of  gold,  flowers 
are  wreathed  about  her  neck,  beauty  and  splendor  shower  upon  her 
How  can  she  be  happy  receiving  all,  and  giving  nothing  .*"  and  then  a 
light  broke  in  upon  the  King.  "It  is  against  nature.  If  you 
would  remove  the  shadow,  let  the  Princess  send  for  the  sorrowful 
nations  in  less  happy  climes,  and  divide  with  them  her  glorious 
treasures  of  the  Gnomes,  the  Wind  Fairies,  the  Spirits  of  Deep

Ocean,  and  ber  fields  of  grain  and  golden   poppies.     Let  her  pour 
oil  upon  their  wounds,  and  give  wine  to  their  drooping  spirits." 

And  the  King  and  the  Cabinet  rejoiced,  for  they  now  had  learned 
the  secret  at  last. 

And  so  it  came  that  happy  time  of  year  when,  with  winter  sol- 
tice,  all  hearts  turn  kindly  to  each  other,  and  the  odor  of  evergreen 
makes  sweet  the  air.  The  White  Prince  had  told  the  good  news  of 
a  beautiful  Princess  of  the  Western  Sea,  who  was  waiting  to  enrich 
all  who  came  to  her  kingdom  to  dwell,  and  groups  of  people  were  _ 
thronging  their  way  thither  by  sea  and  by  land. 

Anxiously  the  King,  the  Queen,  the  cabinet,  and  even  the  White 
Prince  watched  the  face  of  the  Princess  as  she  lavished  the  gold 
from  her  arms,  the  poppies  and  wheat  from  her  neck,  gave  away 
her  fields  and  the  treasures  from  her  store-house,  and  poured  oil  on 
their  wounds,  and  warmed  them  with  wine.  And  the  chilled  people 
of  cold  countries  were  thawed  into  life  again,  and  the  people  of  hot 
countries  no  longer  drooped,  but  were  restored,  and  all  sang  a  song 
of  exceedingly  great  joy. 

And  the  Princess?  Why  her  eyes  sparkled  like  gems,  and  the 
smile  of  content  irradiated  every  feature.  She  turned  to  the  White 
Prince,  impulsively,  and  said :  "I  am  poorer,  but  lam   happier." 

And  the  King  of  all  Waters  gave  his  hand  to  the  Queen  of  all 
Mountains,  and  they   all  danced  a   farandole,  for  the  Shadow  had 

fled  forever.
